The Thunder Bay Public Library has launched a project more than two-years in the making to bring awareness and education about the St. Joseph's residential school and the stories and experiences of survivors.
The goal of the SOAR project, which was funded by Canada Heritage, is to increase awareness and commemorate the history and legacy of St. Joseph’s Residential School while also honouring residential school survivors, their families, and communities.
The intent of the project is to increase awareness and commemorate the history and legacy of St. Joseph’s Residential School in Thunder Bay by making the truth about the residential schools widely accessible through a research report and a curriculum.
